In the evening, Zhu Ping'an arranged Hua'er and the others, and set off to attend the reception banquet organized by Lord Zhang. Hua'er and the demon girl Ruonan lived in the independent pavilion assigned to Zhu Ping'an in the inner house of the official office, and Liu Mu, Liu Dadao and others lived with the officials of the six rooms.

"Ahem, little brother Zhu, our lord is the most simple, and the reception banquet may be shabby, but little brother Zhu don't mind, after the banquet, we will pick up the wind and wash the dust for you in the thin waist building." Chu Xiong deliberately waited for Zhu Ping'an on the road, and said to Zhu Ping'an, and when he talked about the thin waist building, he squeezed his eyes.

"Brother Chu is too worried, he was born in the countryside safely, and he has no pursuit and attention to appetite."

Zhu Ping'an said with a smile, this is the truth, although he likes food, he is not picky.

The king of Chu has a thin waist, and he starves to death in the palace......

The thin waist building that Chu Xiong said?! Why doesn't the name sound like a good place?! Zhu Ping'an said in his heart.

And who are we worthy of what Chu Xiong said? Anyone other than Lord Shodai?

At the time of unitary, the government office is in the back kitchen, and the reception banquet starts on time. Only the officials of the official office participated in the reception banquet, and there were no officials, and Zhu Ping'an consciously sat at the last seat.

Braised fried tofu, tofu with shallots, fried peanuts, scrambled eggs with leeks, cold salad with folded ear roots, dry fried small yellow croaker, pork chowder with sour bamboo shoots, spinach and egg soup...... Six dishes and one soup plus two large jars of wine.

After the dishes were served, Chu Xiong gave Zhu Ping'an a very shabby look, and sincerely felt wise that he had prepared a backup plan in advance, and then squeezed his eyes at Zhu Ping'an, and said "thin waist building" with his mouth......

Is it shabby?!

No, although such six dishes and one soup are not delicacies of the mountains and seas, they can't be called shabby. Perhaps for officials, such a meal is simple and homely, but for most ordinary people, such six dishes and one soup is already the standard for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, which is very rich.

Zhu Ping'an was born in the countryside and knows that the life of ordinary people is not easy. Officials are all people who eat the people, and if the officials are simpler, the burden on the common people will be relatively lighter. Such a reception, Zhu Ping'an not only didn't mind, but also supported it from the bottom of his heart.

If today's reception banquet is a table of abalone and sea cucumbers, Zhu Ping'an is estimated to be uneasy and difficult to swallow, but such a homely reception banquet, Zhu Ping'an is very at ease, and the food is very relishing, and even Chu Xiong, who eats later, looks at Zhu Ping'an's eyes with sympathy, alas, in order to leave a good impression on Lord Zhutai, it is really hard for you, and my brother will definitely compensate you well in the thin waist building.

"Hehe, today is the day when Zihou goes to work, make an exception and serve a few more dishes beyond the standard, and the stove will put the account on my head, and I will deduct it from my money when I turn around." After the meal was served, Lord Zhentai picked up the wine glass and said, "Come, let's drink this cup together, welcome Zihou to join the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Criminal Investigation and Prosecution Division, and work with us to forge ahead." ”

"Thank you for your love." Zhu Ping'an raised the wine glass with both hands and thanked him.

"Hehe, today we also followed Zihou to dip the light, not only to eat a few more dishes, but the most important thing is to finally drink the rice wine brewed by the Tai family." Chu Xiong and the others raised their glasses together and said with a smile.

Only then did Zhu Ping'an know that the two jars of wine at the banquet were rice wine brewed by the Taitai family.

"Zihou, you don't know yet, this rice wine is made by Mrs. Zhentai herself, and it is the only one in the world, and there is no other semicolon. As soon as this wine is opened, the entire government office can smell the rich aroma of wine, which is not an exaggeration at all, it can really be described as 'Yaochi rice wine is fragrant, and it can be left to enjoy the fragrance of wine for all generations'. How many times have we begged before, Lord Zhentai is not willing to take it out, as soon as Zihou comes, Lord Zhentai will take the initiative to take it out, this face is not ordinary, Zihou you want to drink a few more glasses. ”

Chu Xiong held his wine glass and said to Zhu Ping'an with a smile.

"No, it's really a new generation that is better than the old...... We're all yellow from yesterday......"

Deputy Envoy Bai Jin joked with a smile.

The rest of the people chimed in, and the banquet suddenly became peaceful.

"You, those who are less yin and yang, usually go to the office, so naturally you can't be greedy. Today is Zihou's reception banquet, especially exceptional, the wine pipe is enough, you drink openly, I will ask Mrs. to brew a few more jars, and at the end of the year, each person will give you an altar. ”

Lord Zhentai stretched out his finger and pointed at Chu Xiong and the others, shook his head with a smile, and promised everyone.

"Thank you, Lord Tsudai." Chu Xiong and the others were overjoyed.

After speaking, everyone raised their glasses and drank them all. After Zhu Ping'an drank it, he tasted it, although this rice wine is not as exaggerated as Chu Xiong and others said, but the taste is indeed good, and there is a sweet taste lingering on the tip of the tongue.

Lord Zhentai put down his wine glass, and the two deputy envoys each brought another glass of wine, expressing their welcome to Zhu Ping'an.

Zhu Ping'an expressed his gratitude one by one.

Next, everyone came and went, and soon, a jar of rice wine bottomed out.

"Our punishment is traced back to the origin of the procuratorate and the envoy department, and it follows the old system of the previous dynasty, and after the pseudo-Yuan established the 'law of patrolling counties and counties according to the judges', the system of patrolling according to the judges and officials was formed. At the beginning of our dynasty, there were only judicial divisions for criminal prosecution in various provinces, and there were no subdivisions for procuratorial divisions, until the 14th year of Hongwu, when the 'procuratorial divisions' were established. At that time, in addition to the Zhili, there were 12 judicial divisions for criminal prosecution, with a total of 53 sub-divisions, which did not cover all the prefectures at that time. For example, at that time, we set up four branches in Jiangsu and Zhejiang: Ningshao, Wentai, Jinchu, and Yanqu, all of which belonged to the eastern part of Zhejiang, and the three prefectures of Hangzhou, Huzhou, and Jiaxing in western Zhejiang did not have a division. Later, in view of the fact that there are many places inspected by the inspection divisions, adjustments have been made, and now we have four provinces in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Haiyou, Zhejiang and Jinhua, and the three provinces in western Zhejiang are included. In addition to one sub-patrol road in Nanzhili, our official office is responsible for a total of five sub-patrol roads.

In the afternoon, I told Zihou that now we have two deputy envoys and three officials in the official office, each leading a sub-patrol. After Zihou came, he was in charge of the military preparation of our official office, and led the militia to help prevent the Japanese invaders. The matter of military preparation is of great importance, and all of you here must give your full support to Zihou. ”

Lord Zhentai announced Zhu Ping'an's appointment to everyone at the banquet and told everyone to support Zhu Ping'an.

"Nature." Everyone unanimously stated.

"Actually, it's okay for Zihou to have full-time military equipment, and we lead the patrol road, which is actually quite a lot of constraints. Originally, the local authorities were supposed to rectify official evils, criminal names, and lawsuits according to the procuratorate, but we independently exercised supervision and other functions and powers according to the power of the procuratorate. The patrol is not permanent, and even if it is established, it is only the same as the role of our patrol road. However, at present, the normalization of patrolling the imperial history, coupled with the "Constitutional Outline" promulgated by our dynasty, not only has the supervisory power of our sub-patrol been greatly weakened, but the patrol has actually become the top boss of our sub-patrol, and we have become the accompanying officials of the patrol according to the imperial history, and the matters of the sub-patrol should be directly reported to the patrol according to the imperial history, and listen to the approval of the patrol. Now many people are laughing at us for simply removing the word 'according to the procurator' and directly calling it 'the criminal division'......"

Zhang Chufeng vomited bitterness on Zhu Ping'an.

"Hehe, why don't you exchange positions between Brother Zhang and Little Brother Zhu?" Chu Xiong said with a smile.

"Ahem, Chu Fatty, why don't you swap things with Zihou?!" Zhang Chufeng choked on a sip of wine.

"Hehe, do you think my body can manage the troops?" Chu Xiong asked with a smile.

"You just said that you were afraid of death." Zhang Chufeng sneered.

"Okay, the responsibilities are very important, and you have your own court decision, how can you change it if you say it."

Lord Zhentai glanced at them and stopped the two of them.
